Jan Allegretti, D.Vet.Hom., is available as a consultant to individual caregivers; rescue organizations, shelters, and sanctuaries; and at conferences and workshops.
For Individual Caregivers:
Jan offers assistance in assessing diet, lifestyle, home environment, and current treatment protocols for options to improve wellness and address health challenges of nonhuman animals. Strategies include dietary changes, homeopathy, herbs, nutritional supplements, detoxification internally and in the environment, and social and behavioral adjustments. Jan provides phone consultations to caregivers globally, and often works in conjunction with the animal’s veterinarian.
For Rescue Organizations, Shelters, and Sanctuaries:
The consultation is designed to assist organizations in the implementation of holistic protocols in their facilities and in foster homes. Outcomes include improved overall health of the animal population, a deepening and enhancement of the relationships between caregivers and animals, and reduced health-care costs for the organization. The consultation can be modified to focus on specific concerns of the organization, but most often begins with a comprehensive assessment of current practices regarding diet, facilities, shelter maintenance, parasite and pest management, socialization, and more. Jan will prepare a written assessment and recommendations; review those with management; provide a Holistic Medicine Chest (HMC) for on-site use; and train staff in the implementation of protocols, including the use of homeopathy and other natural therapies supplied in the HMC. She is available for ongoing support after the initial consultation is complete.
At Conferences and Workshops:
Jan is a skilled instructor who enjoys tailoring talks and instruction to the needs and resources of attendees. At professional conferences she is adept at assisting veterinarians and veterinary practitioners in exploring holistic care as an extension of an allopathic practice, as well as expanding protocols in an existing holistic practice. For workshops offered to lay caregivers she makes complex strategies easy to understand and implement safely and effectively. Popular topics include her Fresh and Flexible™ meal plan, The Holistic Medicine Chest, homeopathy, cannabis, integrative medicine, a vegan diet for dogs and cats, care for senior companions, and hospice. Presentations may be delivered in thirty minutes, an hour, a day, or as a two-day event. Click here to see a sample class outline for a two-day workshop.
